How else would you mix the dialogue except to come out of both speakers though?
Just make it a bit louder, before summing it into the left and right channel
Right... so why isn't that done already from the 5.1 signal?

#72What is the purpose of this document, i.e. who does it apply to? Does it mean that a movie like Tangerine[1] (filmed on an iPhone) would never come to Netflix? [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangerine_(film)
High Flying Bird was a Netflix movie shot on iPhones. Granted, that was Soderbergh, so he probably gets a lot more pull than most other filmmakers. It was a movie where they bought the distribution rights and didn't produce, so maybe that stuff is different. I'm pretty unclear on what really constitutes a "Netflix Original" — lots of stuff that gets label is really just distributed by them.
Pretty sure some of their other original stuff was shot on film too, which obviously wouldn't meet these requirements. At least, I know the non de-aged scenes for The Irishman were done on film. But again, maybe the big guys get more leeway here.

What does low pass filter mean in the context of video (i understand in audio)?

#74I once thought about a high-end camera rental side business. Never really completed the research, but I am curious again... Do studios and creators own these cameras or they usually rent? Is there an aggregated marketplace where I could be able to put my camera for rent if I do eventually get one?
There's a lot of rental but the real scarcity is in certain lenses, which don't really become obsolete in the same way.
Arri puts out a new Alexa and you can maybe get one if you have a hundred grand in your pocket, but there are some master primes or legacy sets that are simply not for sale.

#75Since there we're questions of what this list is for, this list doesn't determine with which cameras a TV show or film has to be shot with to be included in Netflix. Its rather one of several technical specifications (there are others for post-prod flow for example) for production companies who produce the so-called Netflix Originals for Netflix.

> The stuff with the red N on the poster -- some of it is REALLY good An overwhelming majority of it is total garbage. It's such a bad ratio that I treat the red N as a negative signal when I'm choosing something.
> total garbage
Which historically correlates with commercial success.
It's why Netflix is more than happy to green-light awful shows such as Emily in Paris.

You'd be amazed at the number of people involved in creating content that know nothing about the technical aspect of content creation. In most situations, they hire people to do things for them, and they will typically as for what kind of specs they are looking to deliver.
Any company that produces something will have similar type of "specs".

#78I know we can't do this here, but can we talk about the scroll-locked header which takes almost a third of my screen?
Came to say exactly this, the designer of this web doesn't know a thing about web design.

Also, video is not actually bandlimited so the supposedly perfect filter isn’t actually perfect; you can do a better nonlinear one.

#80This is really high end stuff. Makes me realize how much I'm getting for just 10 bucks.
You times how many millions of other users?
